"It was not the Yan people who assassinated Chang'anjun, but someone else, I heard that the assassin was Teng Geng's disciple, and he had been missing for many days!"

At the head of Liaocheng City, after Tian Dan's sudden attack, the surroundings seemed to freeze, no one spoke for half a sound, only two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, were silently looking at each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"An Pingjun has no clear evidence, it's just speculation......"

Mingyue was stunned, but did not panic, according to the agreement with the Ram's family, he had destroyed all the evidence of Ram's Chi's involvement in this matter.

Moreover, he expected that even if Tian Dan knew the truth, he would not be able to pose a threat to himself, just like that day he put his sword on his neck, but considering the good of the two countries and considering his own daughter, he still couldn't do it.

After figuring out this relationship, the corners of Mingyue's mouth curled: "Besides, Qi and Zhao have become a blood alliance, raw rice is cooked and cooked, and An Pingjun is also on the way to Zhao Guowei, after Liaocheng, he will enter the Zhao realm, is it a little late to talk about this at this moment?" ”

Looking at the calm appearance of the young man in front of him after being exposed to the lie, Tian Dan felt a headache, this son is really difficult to deal with, he is so terrible at a young age, he will not be a great loyalty and sage in the future, he will be a great traitor!

How could his daughter fall in love with such a person? It's really unladylike!

After the intimidation failed, Tian Dan tried to oppose the guest, and his plan to control the initiative was in vain, he was silent for a moment and said: "Chang'anjun, the old man invited you to accompany him today, and he said so much nonsense, just for you and me to be open and honest." When I was in Linzi, the reason why I didn't expose your lies on the spot was because the Qi country also needed this battle......"

"The kid is confused, I hope An Pingjun will explain it."

"It's simple." Tian Dan said: "The country of Qi needs a stable north, the prince needs merit and prestige, and the soldiers of the country of Qi who have always hated the country of Yan need to vent their ...... of revenge."

Tian Dan looked at Mingyue and said, "The old man also needs to retire after success." ”

"Retirement?"

Mingyue smiled: "Where does An Pingjun want to retreat?" Yeyi? "Yeyi is the fiefdom of Tiandan and the big city of 10,000 households in Jiaodong.

Tian Dan shook his head and said, "It's not Yeyi, it's not Linzi." Qi Guo can't tolerate me anymore. ”

This was something Mingyue didn't expect, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"The old man has thought about what Chang Anjun said carefully these days, and there is indeed some truth. The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good bows and hidden, this is the normal state of the world, therefore, I want to be a fan Li who withdraws in time, and I don't want to be a kind of literature that is given to death in a daze! ”

He looked directly at Mingyue: "I want to make meritorious contributions to Zhao in this battle, and I will stay in Zhao in the future and spend my old age in peace, does Chang'anjun think it is feasible?" ”

These words not only stunned the cronies beside Tian Dan, but even Mingyue was taken aback.

These days, he has been separating Tiandan and King Qi intentionally or unintentionally, what kid is often angry about An Pingjun, and what King Qi's treatment of heroes makes people in the world cold...... But he didn't expect that it would be effective so soon?

Mingyue seemed to have re-acquainted Tian Dan, and looked up and down at the famous general Nengchen with a weathered face: "Is An Pingjun's words true?" ”

Tian Dan pointed to the sky and swore: "The Lord of the Eight Gods is above, Tian Dan has no lies!" ”

Mingyue was still vigilant: "Then why did An Pingjun say it to the kid?" ”

Tian Dan smiled and said: "Chang'anjun, you only proposed to me yesterday that you want to marry my daughter, if this matter can be done, the old man should trust you the most in Zhao State, if you don't say it, who else can you talk to?" ”

He paused and said: "What's more, Chang'anjun is the beloved son of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the old man is cheeky, hoping that the prince can tell the Empress Dowager about Tiandan's intentions, although the old man is Zhao Xiang, he is not familiar with the officialdom of Zhao State, and I hope that Chang'anjun can help me when the time comes......"

I see!

Mingyue was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "This is very good, my mother is the princess of Qi Kingdom, and she will be overjoyed when she knows that An Pingjun is willing to stay in Zhao Kingdom!" With An Pingjun, I Zhao Guo has added another general, and he will definitely be able to add wings like a tiger! ”

……

After Chang'an Jun left first, Tian Dan still stayed at the head of Liaocheng City, blowing a cold wind, looking at the ravines he dug when he attacked the city in the distance, his eyes were full of loneliness and memories......

At that time, he recovered the entire territory of Qi with a city and 7,000 soldiers, and he was full of ambition, how could he think of today's situation?

Tian Dan's cronies timidly walked up, knelt down and said, "Sovereign, just what the Sovereign said, but is it true?" ”

Tian Dan was noncommittal: "If it is true, will you continue to follow me?" ”

The cronie nodded and said: "The villain's life was handed over to the lord as early as Jimo, and where the lord is, the villain will follow!" Regardless of Zhao Qi. ”

Tian Dan laughed: "Then I'll tell you, Fang Cai's words are half-truths and half-truths." After he asked his cronies to get up, he asked, "Do you know Zhang Mengtan, the founding hero of the Zhao family?" ”

The cronie also had some insight, so he bowed his head and said: "Zhang Mengtan, the think tank of Zhao Xiangzi, naturally knows that if there is no Zhang Mengtan, there will be no Zhao State, and the Zhao family may be in the siege of Jinyang, and they will be destroyed by Zhibo." ”

Tian Dan said: "Everyone knows Zhang Mengtan's merits, but few people know where he went after making great contributions to the Zhao family. At that time, Zhang Mengtan had settled the Zhao family and opened up the land for Xiangzi, Zhao Xiangzi wanted to reward him, but Zhang Mengtan said that he wanted to retire, donate his fame to power, return to the countryside, and be an ordinary scholar. ”

He said to Zhao Xiangzi at the time that there were two reasons why the five tyrants were able to command the princes. First, the monarch is powerful enough to control the ministers; Second, the power of the ministers must not be allowed to surpass that of the king. Therefore, if you are a feudal monarch, you cannot be a minister, and you are not allowed to get close to courtiers and doctors from the general or above. The above two kinds of people, holding power and merit, are the easiest to hold the monarch hostage, and the ministers and the monarch are close in power, but they can still get along in harmony, which is unheard of! The past does not forget the teacher of the future, this is the principle of governing the country. ”

So Zhang Mengtan ignored Zhao Xiangzi's obstruction, resigned from the position of Zhao's family leader, retired to the mountains and forests, and cultivated acres of ridges.

Tian Dan said with a bit of longing: "My thoughts, like Zhang Mengtan, the king has always been worried that my power will surpass him, and he has tried his best to suppress me for more than ten years, and I have to retreat step by step. Now that the king sees that time is running out, he is even more jealous of me, if I don't want to end up with Wen Chong and Wu Zixu, it's time to give up power and retreat. ”

"This is the King of Qi who doesn't know loyal ministers!" The cronies said angrily: "Is it true that the lord wants to take refuge in the Zhao State and enjoy his old age in peace?" ”

Tian Dan didn't answer, and said: "After Zhang Mengtan lived in seclusion in Qiuqiu for three years, the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Qi, and Chu reneged on the alliance and prepared to join forces to attack Zhao. Zhao Xiangzi had nothing to do, so he asked Zhang Mengtan to discuss the plan, so Zhang Mengtan sent his wife and three sons to envoy Han, Wei, Qi, and Chu respectively, and the four countries were suspicious of each other, and the matter of plotting Zhao was self-defeating. ”

"Although hidden in the mountains and forests, if there is something in the country, Zhang Mengtan will still stand up immediately, and I coincide with Zhang Mengtan's thoughts."

Tian Dan patted his chest and said to his cronies: "No matter how mean and unkind King Qi treats me, the old man has no complaints, everyone in the world thinks I am worthless, and Chang'an Jun is even more vainly trying to separate from it." He didn't know that the old man was not stupidly loyal to the King of Qi, but loyal to the State of Qi! The kings have changed in turn, and Qi Guoheng is here! This time I entered Zhao as the prime minister, I must win the trust of the Empress Dowager of Zhao and the ministers, and get real power, so that I can secretly make profits for the Qi State! ”

……

At the same time, Mingyue returned to the hall and talked to her most trusted Zhao Kuo and Shu Qi about Fang Cai Tiandan's "openness and honesty".

"If An Pingjun is willing to really take refuge in Zhao State, plus Ma Fujun and General Lian, Zhao State will have three famous generals, but even if Qin State Wu Anjun is in person, there is no need to be afraid of him!" Shu Qi didn't have much deep thought, and suddenly became happy.

"The most taboo in military affairs is that the orders are different, and there are many orders, and the three famous generals combined, may not be as good as my father's single general!"

Zhao Kuo, whose injuries were gradually healing, scoffed at this, and the Ma Fu family had a deep prejudice against Tian Dan, and he also whispered to Mingyue: "Son, my father once had a discussion with An Pingjun, and afterwards he thought that this person was convincing in his words, but in fact his mind was gloomy, and he could never be trusted!" ”

Mingyue bowed: "An Pingjun said this to me, it is indeed a little abrupt, although the good bird chooses the tree to perch, but he should not be the kind of person who wants to change the court after being wronged......"

He wanted to separate Tian Dan and King Qi, and planted a suspicious thorn in Tian Dan's heart to let it sprout slowly, but Tian Dan, a big fish, was really cunning, and when he turned around, he directly ate the bait, but Mingyue couldn't figure out whether he had taken the bait or not......

"An Pingjun, An Pingjun, what are you going to do?" Mingyue was a little difficult, he knew that he couldn't guess Tian Dan's mind anymore.

"Whatever, anyway, after arriving in Zhao Kingdom, Tian Dan is the turtle in the urn, how many waves can he turn over?"

In line with the idea that the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, Mingyue no longer thought about it, they set off from Liaocheng the next day, continued to the west, and within two days, they entered the border of Zhao.

Here, even if you arrive home, there are soldiers escorted along the way, and there are officials to receive them, all of them are respectful, because Chang'anjun can be regarded as a diplomatic hero of Zhao State, and the group rushed to Handan.

On the tenth day of leaving Linzi, Handan was in sight......

After a long absence, the bright moon is fine, Zhao Kuo, Shu Qi and others are a little excited, but unfortunately the sky is not beautiful, and when they see the city wall of Handan from afar, the sky is already full of dark clouds, and they know that there is a light rain in Suosuo.

Mingyue hid under the canopy of the carriage, but also suffered a few drops of rain, he couldn't help but think that when he left Handan, it was the beginning of March, when the spring was in full swing, the warm sun shone on his body was extremely comfortable, the fields were green with trees, birds flew around in flocks, making a gentle cry, and the moisture of the earth, the freshness of wheat seedlings and the fragrance of wild flowers filled the air. The wind came from the field, soft, blowing on people's faces one after another, making people's hearts itch and full of anticipation for the future......

But now, it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival at the end of July, the suburbs of Handan, the yellow and green mountains and forests are in sight, the grains in the fields are ripe, most of them have been harvested, under the rain curtain, the four sides are empty, I think I have already run home to avoid the rain, right? They were miserable, with a burst of autumn rain and a burst of cold, and everyone who was rushing was drenched and shivered.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are ......"

After reading this poem, Mingyue ordered loudly: "The second and third sons cheer up, there are not a few miles away from Handan, instead of sheltering from the rain, we should speed up our pace, return to Handan before nightfall, and then drink hot wine and hot soup to drive away the cold!" ”

"Yui!" The people of Zhao Guo, who had been away from their hometown for a long time, naturally had no opinion, and after a burst of laughter, they quickened their pace, stepped on the muddy water, splashed everywhere, and soon, everyone saw the city tower of Handan from afar.

They originally thought that in this weather, except for the honor guard arranged by King Zhao's palace, there should not be many people to greet them, right?

Unexpectedly, before they reached the gate of Handan, they found that the road was densely blocked by onlookers. There were too many people, all on both sides of the road, crowded and impenetrable, although there were urgently dispatched soldiers on both sides of the road to set up blockades, but they could not stop the enthusiastic people at all, and these soldiers were squeezed into retreat.

"So many people!" Everyone was taken aback, and then saw the banner of Zhao Xiangru Lin Xiangru swaying in the crowd with difficulty, it turned out that Lin Xiangru was ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhao and King Zhao to meet Tiandan and Chang'an Jun, but at this moment he was blocked by the people, and he couldn't pass.

The crowd who spontaneously came to watch was not interested in Tian Dan, who was admired by thousands of people in Qi State, they just wanted to see Chang'an Jun who was "going to trouble for the country". In those days when he was in Linzi, he debated, Zhao Yushi, and scolded Teng Geng, and all kinds of novel deeds have been passed back through the merchants of Zhao Di, which made the Handan people who like new things curious, and when they heard that he had returned, they all wanted to come and see this little hero.

So at the moment when Lin Xiangru asked the soldiers to clear the way, the people of Handan, who were crowded outside the city in the rain, kept asking: "Where is Chang'anjun who went to trouble for the country?" ”

Mingyue looked at this scene with mixed feelings, he went to Linzi to make meritorious contributions and seek fame, and now he has successfully obtained both, but how can others know about the hardships and racking his brains?

Tian Dan looked at this scene, as if he saw the scene when he recovered most of the Qi Kingdom and returned to Jimo in triumph, and after sighing secretly, he said lukewarmly: "Chang'anjun is really a person who has not arrived, and his name is the first." ”

Zhao Kuo has always been dissatisfied with Tian Dan, so he said to him next to him: "The son went to trouble for the country and returned with honor, as a matter of course!" ”

Immediately, Zhao Kuo ignored the fact that his injuries had not completely healed, and rode out, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, he pointed to the position of Mingyue's car, raised his hand and shouted: "People, Chang'an Jun is here!" ”

For a while, everyone's eyes looked over, and then a burst of cheers broke out, all of which were words of praise for Chang'anjun. Among them are men and women, and there are old people who like to watch the excitement all day long; There are children with fingers in their mouths; There is a young girl who hopes to take a look at the young man; There are rangers who regret missing Chang'anjun's recruitment; There are also scholars who have ambitions and want to find a good lord to serve their lives......

Of course, this kind of lively scene, how can there be no businessmen looking for opportunities everywhere?

In the crowd, Puyang merchant Lü Buwei also stood on tiptoe, stroked his beard, and silently watched the return of this famous son of Qi Zhao......
